Ajax was trained to recognize the scent of marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin and hash through a process known as "drug imprinting," the report states.

“Drug imprinting” is a process by which the dog associates the scent of a drug with play, according to the report.

Ajax has already been put to work, and has been responding to two or three calls per week, the report states.

The Middlesex County K-9 team is used around New Jersey, aiding municipal police departments, Rutgers University police, the Monmouth County Transit Police, the Union County Sheriff’s Office, the New Jersey State Police, the Middlesex County Narcotics Task Force and the Somerset/Middlesex County Task Force, according to the release.

Ajax is handled and cared for by Sheriff's Officer Joseph Cruz and his family, according to Patch.
